I have just spent a week at the Kruger Park, with a whole load of people 16 in total, they were all caravaning and camping but we went into a chalet........ I just love the comforts of home...... walking to the "loo" in the middle of the night......... is certainly not on my list of things to do who knows who or what may be lurking there.
When we arrived we decided what animals we wanted to see, I was Rhino, Elephant and my friend wanted to see Wild dog. First animal we see is one elephant......... after a 10 hour trip, i was tired of being in the car........restless legs are a MAJOR problem............. so we sped along to get to our camp...... according to everyone behind us we drove straight past a rhino and did not even notice it.
The next day everyone did their own thing so we went off in search of animals....... we were so busy talking we could have drove past a brontesauraus......... and we would not have seen it..... it was so funny we kept telling each other to stop talking and look for animals, we decided later because we were lousy animal hunters to rather meet up with everyone else so were in the middle of the road....... arguing about which direction we should be taking............... I heard a noise next to the car........... and there 2 feet away was a rhino........... it was probably watching us...... waiting for us to see him......... and couldn't take the suspense any longer so came over to make sure we saw him............. and he was BIG............
The hippo's were amazing we spent hours watching them, it is not often you see them out of the water........you normally just see there noses sticking up in the water to breath...... hiding away from us animal seekers
My all time favourite animal is the buffalo and for years they hid from me ......... but we saw some lovely ones this time........... however it was on the night drive..... and you will have to use your imagination to see them......... there are three of them in this photo.
Well all good things come to an end. It was great seeing the animals and relaxing, it was even better to see my grandson everyday for the week.
